Why don't you try it with the $Response->{Cookies} interface?
For module work, you can always access the ASP objects via
the main:: package like:
$main::Response->{Cookies}{some_cookie} = "some cookie value";
I think the CgiHeaders thing is dangerous, and would urge you
to stay away from it, because it will pick up any beginning
lines with : in them as headers. I only leave the setting
in for backwards compatibility.
BTW, the main:: style notation was documented under FAQs at
http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/faq.html#How%20do%20I%20access%20the%20ASP%20Objects%20in%20general%3F
